edc Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 What geo and rake are you running? Maybe a trick of the light but the front looks even higher than standard almost like the nose is pointing upwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Inspiring build, much like my own. I was thinking about the wing - don't you think it would have better effect if you lifted it, making sure it's more exposed to the wind? I have a wing mount that looks a lot like yours but I "crafted" my own - this is what my car looks like: It's not adored by the MOT people but I just dismount it. I assume it does it's job, though - without splitter it understeers like a dog... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazH Posted May 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 First shakedown was a huge success: Car ran faultlessly all day and the engine performed fantastically. Naturally we have a whole load of adjustments to make to the rear wing, suspension, ride height, etc, but overall there were zero issues. A big step towards getting race ready. And I'm so in love with the dash now: Absolutely adore the flocked look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - the engine is completely stock. The only thing that isn't is the exhaust system shown on the pages prior to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that these first water-cooled Porsche engines have wavy power curve but this looks better than I expected. Were these small up/downs between 5000-6000rpm very obvious on the dyno-runs?

Have a new livery wrap in the works with the main sponsor, just need time to get it sorted properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

method Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Looks awesome - great build! Before and after pictures are 😲 Regarding the hood crest; I bought from a well known Swedish Porsche parts supplier for £3 a few years back. They looked just like the official Porsche crest decal. Now they don't supply those anymore, unfortunately - probably wasn't the "official" one and Porsche cracked down on them. These, however, look exactly like the ones I bought (and like Porsches official stickers). https://www.yhighercd.top/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=741033 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
